Sparkly water feels like it doesn't want to be drunk.

It is funny, I love carbonated drinks, but when my daughter was about 2 or 3 years old, we were out somewhere and people were drinking soft drinks. She wanted to taste Sprite so we gave her a glass. She took a sip, made a face, and started sticking her tongue out and going "ugh ugh"
We asked what was the matter and she said "it makes my mouth feel .... so .... so .... sprite" and she has never liked carbonated drinks since. Not soft drinks, sparkling water, not beer, none of them. In college, she spent a summer in France and her 3-4 main companions all liked champagne so she drank that fairly often with them, and tolerated it, but still didn't like the carbonation.

Only water I can drink is sparkling, I dont like the flavor of still water. Slighty sparkling is best, Pepsi is bestest :D

Sparkly water is water, ruined. It just makes it so much worse! Just gives it that nasty acidity without anything to balance it, and the bubbles are really harsh in carbonated water. I may not like normal water but at least I can actually drink it. Sparkly water feels like it doesn't want to be drunk.
Also, Pepsi is not as good as Coke. Too sugary-tasting, and more synthetic as well. Coke still tastes vaguely natural somewhere; like really really heavily sweetened tea or something. Pepsi tastes like thinned, synthetic molasses.
Or, in Imperial units; "I done got me 157 dead gooks killed, and 50 water buffalos too, them are all certified."

That looks like it's FLAVOURED sparkling water. That's not the same thing at all.
